Animalia Magicka
Animalia magicka, more commonly known as a mage’s familiar, are animals with a predisposition towards magic. When picking a familiar, it is important to remember the three T’s of animal companionship: Temperament, toughness, and talent. At least two should match their Loyal’s, which is what we call the humans who have bonded with a familiar. It is said that no mage can accomplish true greatness without a devoted familiar at their side.
Sometimes a familiar is injured or lost, or otherwise find themselves in a dedicated rescue for help. It is here that we begin, with rumors of abolishing animal magic on the wind and a small revolt from mages without familiars challenging the notion of a bond with animals to increase their magical talent on the horizon. But that isn’t here, isn’t now, so need not worry about that dear familiars, just rest and recover while you are here. Nothing bad will happen to you while within the borders of the Familiar rescue…

Males have brightly colored plumage and feathers, whereas females exhibit earth tones to camouflage themselves. Often used as messenger birds.

Habitats: Forest, Hills, Mountain, SwampThe wyvern has two legs, two wings, and a spiny tail surmounted by a (typically) poisonous stinger. Its durable hide of armored scales gives the wyverns plenty of protection to fight off other predators and even larger dragons when fighting in a pack. They do not possess a breath weapon, but rather their stinger is the source of their elemental discharge. This, combined with their powerful body and ferocious maw of razor-sharp teeth make them formidable foes. They live in packs of up to 12 individuals, ranging over a territory many hundreds of miles in area.

They all have four legs and short compact bodies allowing for swift running. They are highly adaptable to their environments, with many subspecies specially designed for almost any function. They have powerful jaws and sharp teeth to effectively capture and kill their prey. They typically have wedge-shaped heads allowing for binocular vision when hunting. They are pack-hunting animals. They have been bred throughout the world, resulting in hundreds of varieties such as small toy drakes to massive siege drakes. They are commonly used as guard animals, and many have had armor and harnesses custom-made for their specific occupation.

They fly like insects or hummingbirds, capable of hovering in midair, and move in any direction while holding any position. Fae come in many colors and shapes. Some breeds migrate while others hibernate through winter. Like magpies, they like to steal small shiny objects to line their nests. Fae also have a prehensile tail to give it better balance. They are often kept as nurturers for gardens and farms, as many possess the ability to manipulate plants.

They also have whiskers much like a catfish's, used to sense close-range movement. Its long serpentine body is able to constrict around enemies like a snake, and its four legs have sharp talons for fighting, in addition to a jaw of sharp teeth.

Most terrestrial ungulates use the hoofed tips of their toes to support their body weight while standing or moving. Ungulates are typically herbivorous and many employ specialized gut bacteria to allow them to digest cellulose, though some members may deviate from this: several species of pigs are omnivorous.

Biography: Durvahriin came to the rescue sickly and injured. No one could get an explanation from him, not a cohesive one anyways. He claims to have had a loyal, but not anymore. It is assumed he and his loyal stood up to the rising threat of the wizard that wants to do away with animal magic, and lost their life, while Durvahriin somehow survived. This is all just rumor and inferences though.
As for personality, he seems to be bitter and grumpy. It's assumed because he survived while his loyal didn't. He has a lot of pride, and a short temper.
Other: he's about 2 feet long, but on account of how long he is, it's mostly tail and neck. Really his size is more comparable to a small cat.

Hello! I'm Dovah and this is my latest idea for a roleplay!
First, if you're interested, leave a post below!
Second, a discord server for OOC plotting will be required.
Thirdly, I have a major surgery coming up Friday morning (sept 15th, 2023) so we will not be starting any IC until after that. I will be available up until then and starting Saturday I will be available to answer questions and accept forms.
Thirdly, if you join, please do not ghost. Let us know you must leave. I don't need to know why, but it would help me plan and keep track of the rp if I know who's still interested.
Fourthly, this is a semi-literate, semi-casual rp. I do not need a thousand paragraphs, but the minimum is a small well-written paragraph. I understand we all have off days, I myself have them too. We're only human.
